So I ejected a bb on the freeway last week and don't know where to get one and what size. Where would I be able to find one and what size would I need for the trailer its a regular 5 lug hub.
Fat fingered from the phone- Corey

Most auto parts stores will have them. Just measure the bore where the BB presses into, or better yet...knock one off of another hub and bring that to the store with you to match up the size with.
-
The model number of a Bearing Buddy is literally the inside diameter of the bore where the little focker goes... An example a 1950 fits a 1.950" bore...
They are only sold in pairs, get the size and I will scope around, I have about five different sizes that I only have one of that you can have for the ride.... ;)
I have mostly oddball chit...I do not have any 1950's (well I do, but they are spares for all three of our trailers. :-\

If you can't find them at a local NAPA or the corner chinese parts store, Redneck Trailer Supply off the 15 frwy has most everything you can imagine.
For what it's worth, I always put a small slice in the rubber cap so when they get real hot they don't push the cap all the way off and throw grease everywhere. Yeah it traps a little water but that substantialy evaporates on the way home across the dez. A slice rather than an actual hole keeps most water out still.

Glasscutter, that's the best damn advice for keeping grease off the wheels. Water gets in no matter what, I always pull the bras off and shake the few droplets of water out and leave them off during wipe down to dry.
First thing I do when I full up in Lenwood is jump out and see how far the rear ones have been pushed off. I think my other problem is because I have disc brakes they get hotter than fudge.

You should replace them with Trailer Buddy's. The size on them is actually 19.80 and they shouldn't come off. Plus they have double o-rings and shouldn't be slinging grease. They also got a trick little cap that looks good. You shouldn't need a bra.
